Cognitive_Canine Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Could play either Piano, violin, guitar, drums, bass, or sing well. Was exciting and adventurous. Transcendentalist. Appreciated a good jazz impromptu. Athletic but not buff, I prefer slender but with nicely shaped arms and shoulders Could joke with me and keep up with my playfulness Knows what he wants and how to get it Deathly loyal to good friends and me Chameleon; (is okay with snuggling at home, associating with the aristocrats, on the streets) He needs to be able to follow me wherever I go and lead me to places that he wanted to share with me. Had a darker side but felt secure enough to talk to me about it. Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I don't really have a list. Don't like them. A good moral man. A sense of humor. Loyal to the end...my best friend and fan in the whole world. One who always has my back. One who I never have to "wonder" where he is or where he has been. And, of course treats me with respect...

kuiks8 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 spiritual empathetic funny as hell compassionate constantly seeking to grow and learn intelligent someone who can teach me things someone who cooks athletic health conscious authentic At the end of the day these are guidelines but I want someone I connect with on all levels...someone who has the ability to make me quiver just from a look or a word...or by no saying anything at all...i would give up all of my list to feel a real connection...

m12988 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Doesn't drink, do drugs or party. I feel so much better now, i thought I was the only one against those three things, lol. Anyway, my list would be: -kind, generous, thoughtful to his family/friends/pets/strangers and will be the same to mine. -no racism, no sexism. no macho man syndrome -good work ethic, will not quit his job and sit on his behind all day expecting me to bring in the pay. I will work and so will he. -moderation. I see many men and women coming to these boards complaining on how their significant other spends hours and hours on the X-box. Huge turn off to me, hobbies such as video games are great, if done in moderation. -of course as I said earlier, no drugs, drinking, partying (the typical college frat kinds), clubbing, bar going Link to comment

ASTI.... described.. beside letting the world know i am crazy LOL... all that always came natrualy... i tend to be very passionate with the girls i care about.. i always thought it was a neg in a way.... Haha well I meant crazy about their girlfriend. Not just crazy in general Its not negative to be passionate. Its one of the qualities that I love in my partner and really value. Link to comment
bmwm3 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 ASTI... LOL... i agree being passionate makes all aspects of the rel better... i guess i just viewed as making me weaker in a way.. but really its not a biggie.. i dont even second guess it... Link to comment
_Asti_ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yea, if all you brought to the table was passion, and it was like borderline obsessive passion, then its a little bad. But confidence and security in yourself goes a long way, being happy with yourself and the relationship and your partner, and being passionate about it and them, there's absouletly nothing negative about it.

Roasted Carrots Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Must have a good sense of humor Must get along well with his family Intelligent. I prefer men who are good at math, for some reason Must love dogs! Heath conscious/athletic. I just want him to take care of his body Right now my favorite body type is very tall (6 footish) and lean-to-slightly husky Absoluetly no drugs. Beer occasionally is fine with me. Knows the balance between my indepence and my need to be taken care of Can cook. I dont' need a chef, just someone how can cook a few meals. Does his own laundry and housekeeping. I will share the work but I am not your maid! Has a hobby. Is passionate about me, life, etc Is motivated and wants a job he will enjoy Makes me feel beautiful and then tells me that I am Will take care of me when I'm sick Will listen to me rant about nothing, then hug me afterwards, and then disctract me Adventerous in all aspects of life Has a driver's liscence Kind of a weird one, but must be somewhat materialistic. Past few boyfriend I have had a lot of trouble thinking of holiday/birthday gifts. Must give me ideas, or have a hobby I can buy stuff for, or something! Link to comment
anggrace Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My idea of a "perfect" boyfriend is one that knows he's not perfect (and doesn't try to be) and doesn't act like it's the end of the world or judge me when he finds out Im not perfect either. Link to comment
Willow2609 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 makes me laugh, especially when im down, cuddles me, takes me to the cinima even lets me choose the film (sometimes) random sense of humor, never calls me sexy but calls me pretty and gorgous, spoils me rotten, talented, ( plays the bass, guitar,) drives, can fix computers, can tell me anything, holds no secrets.

Appreciates the little romantic gestures. Likes the arts. A sense of humor is a must!! Should be decent looking but doesn't have to be drop dead gorgeous. Doesn't drink, do drugs or party. Must have a great personality. No anger issues. You've made my day (and given me hope) with this post. Although I've never had a relationship before, I feel that your post describes me 99%. Being a college student, I always felt like I never quite fit in with alot of my peers, which is why I have more acquaintances than friends. It seems like everyone I know here is about drinking, partying, clubs, and smoking weed - I don't have a problem with people that enjoy that but it's never been my scene. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone that can appreciate this. *edit: I'm extremely modest so in terms of decent looking, that's debatable, lol. Definitely no (insert good-looking male celebrity), but probably a step above Quasimodo. Link to comment
darknoon Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 when yall still get to have that man that you want you women can't be happy bc it will be always something else for yall to b;tc; about Link to comment
Clarity Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My guess would be that these lists are good ideas to follow if you are *already* the boyfriend of some girl. I really get the sense that girls are not good at going after the things that they *think* they would *ideally* want in a guy. Subconsciously, they generally want a completely different guy, perhaps even the polar opposite of what they list here. Link to comment
MD Geist Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I meet most of these requrements and yet I still have no luck. Link to comment

Subconsciously, they generally want a completely different guy, perhaps even the polar opposite of what they list here. The same can be said about us guys, my friend. I think it's safe to say that no "list" can perfectly describe our ideal partners any more than a list of ingredients can describe the taste of a delicious recipe. Our perfect companions are those that fit our wants in ways that go beyond words and logic. Link to comment
